Chapter 39 Synthetic Biology

"The difference does not have to be in appearance." Habo told me: "Before they were planted, they were already set up to accept the command of a certain force or individual. Now we are setting them up to accept the command of the Frost Rose Alliance. of command, so you have the first command authority, and the members of our guild enjoy different levels of command authority according to their rank."

"Can I command this thing? How?"

"Just dictate the order directly. These guys can understand human speech, and their intelligence is not low."

"So what can they do? What do I order them to do?"

"Let me demonstrate this first." Habo said, turning to face one of the big trees and ordering: "Guard, I order you to enter combat mode."

The soil on the ground suddenly moved. The big tree in front of us actually used its roots to push itself up. A big hole was exposed underneath it, and a creature that looked like a crab emerged from it. Climb out of a hole. This guy has a body similar to that of a swimming crab, except that the body of the swimming crab is long horizontally, with sharp points on the left and right sides, and wide in the middle, while its body is long vertically, with sharp front and back, and wider in the middle. In addition, it does not have as many legs as a crab. It only has six jointed limbs, but each one is very thick and not as thin as a crab's legs look. There are a total of fourteen eyes distributed on this guy's body, six of which are in the front, two on each side of the body, and four on the back of the butt. There is no blind spot at all.

"Why is this thing green?"

"Because it is designed based on plants after all." Habo explained: "You may have noticed that it has no mouth, so it cannot eat. The absorption of nutrients depends on this." Habo ordered the plant beast to lift It lifted one leg, and we found something like fish gills on the grounded part of its leg.

After Habodi's explanation, I realized that the phytozoans are actually two living organisms that are associated with each other. The part I described as a big tree before is indeed an immovable tree-like organism. Its main function is to absorb water and inorganic matter from the ground and produce nutrients through photosynthesis to supply itself and the animals parasitic under it. Survive, but when the beast body leaves the tree, the beast body itself can also obtain energy by absorbing the enemy's blood and body tissue. At the same time, the green body color is because this guy can perform light synthesis, which means that this thing is driven by solar energy.

"How good is this guy's fighting ability?"

"About the strength of a six-hundred-level combat creature."

"The level is not high!"

"We don't intend to use its single combat power to do anything. This thing is just cannon fodder. It only serves as the outermost cordon. We usually rely on numbers to win. Besides, after the beast's body is destroyed, the implant will be destroyed for a certain period of time. Then it will automatically regenerate a beast body. As long as this forest is not destroyed, there will be endless beast bodies."

Now I finally understood. This plant beast is actually like an ant, relying entirely on its terrifying numbers to bury its enemies. No matter how strong you are, millions and tens of millions of phytochemical beasts swarming up to form a mountain of flesh will be enough to crush you to death.

Habo seemed to know what I was thinking, and immediately added: "Just one plant beast seed can create a forest, and it will also imitate it based on the characteristics of nearby plants, so it will not change the surface environment. As long as they don't Entering the animal form. It will not look any different from the original forest. If we plant a lot in some specific areas..."

"Is this thing drought tolerant?" I suddenly interrupted Harbaugh and asked.

"Basically it's acceptable, but it will affect the growth rate, so the area covered by each seed may be only one-tenth of the area covered by the seeds on Essinger's side."

"That's enough."

"Where are you taking me?" Before Habo could finish his words, I picked him up and ran away, scaring him so much that he kept shouting.

"Please be quiet. How many plant-based beast seeds are there in your experimental area?"

"Seven pieces, what's wrong?"

"Bring them all with you. Come with me to plant the plant beasts near Steel City."

"Bring them all together? Do you want to turn the entire desert into a forest?"

"You are so smart!"

"Haha, we can finally plant it on a large scale!" Habo was as excited as a child, but he couldn't dance and cheer now that I was holding him in my hand, otherwise he would have been dancing!

Based on what I saw on the emperor’s tombstone before. Ghost Hand Nobunaga and the others plan to plan a surprise attack from the east to the west, and the target is our Steel City. My plan is to use the information I know in advance to arrange a counter-sneak attack, so that the only one who is unlucky in the end is Nobunaga. However, considering that the desert terrain around Steel City is too empty, I plan to do a large-scale greening. It will be much easier to carry out sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks in a densely forested place. The key depends on who takes the initiative.

After getting enough seeds, I took Habo to the vicinity of Steel City. Based on the surrounding terrain and the growth of the plant beasts, we roughly selected a planting location, and then sent my flying familiar to perform the sowing task. Considering the terrifying growth rate of the seed outside Essinger, in order to prevent the Steel City from being destroyed. This time we deliberately set the sowing site a little further away from the city. We would rather prevent the plants from extending to the edge of the city than allow them to grow into the interior of the city. Previously, the plantation beast outside Isinger grew too fast mainly because Habo poured too much magic essence. This time, I only asked the demon pet on the mission to use a crystal rod to dip a little magic essence into it, even if it exceeded the expected growth. The speed shouldn't be too much either.

After all the flying pets flew out, Habo and I waited above Steel City. From here, we can see the location of my flying pets in the distance. As they dropped the seeds they carried, we saw huge core flowers sprouting from the ground in the distance, and then with the core flower as the center, they began to radiate terrible green colors in all directions. 'Shock wave. Those terrifying plant roots spread in all directions faster than Isinger's periphery, if I hadn't sent out all flying creatures. Maybe even the person who threw the seeds will be buried in it.

Only ten seconds at most. The seven green cores have turned into seven huge green circles. If you look down from space, you will definitely find that this area is gradually changing from yellow to green at a speed visible to the naked eye. If only there were plants that grew so fast in reality. We don’t have to worry about global desertification.

The crazy growth of the plant beast lasted for about forty minutes and then gradually began to slow down. By an hour, it was almost impossible to tell that the plants were still growing. According to Harbaugh's identification. The magic essence that the plant beast got when it was planted has been exhausted.

The green forest formed by the plant beasts has now covered most of the desert area where Steel City is located. At least 80% of the area has turned into a dense forest. However, because these plants are When it has just grown, there is still sand on the ground. However, since the ground surface has been covered by plants, the sand cannot be blown away by the wind, and coupled with the fixation of the plant roots, the ground will be covered with a large number of fallen plant leaves in a short period of time.

The only thing that made me dissatisfied with the entire planting process was that the distance between the forest and the steel city was not well controlled. Since we don't know the conversion relationship between the amount of magic essence and the growth rate, and it's impossible to control it so accurately. Therefore, we can only roughly estimate the growth coverage area before planting, and finally calculate the safest distance from the steel city based on the coverage area. The direct result of this is that in some places the upward forest has grown to the interior of the steel city, and in some directions it is even more than a kilometer away. Fortunately, it only grows into the city in one direction, and it only 'inserts' a little bit, without creating any forest.

After planting the plants, I asked Habo to return to the First Continent first, while I informed the God of War to equip Steel City with defense facilities and personnel. After making sure that the God of War understood what I meant, I came to the New Continent again. The experimenters here have been waiting for me for a long time.

As soon as Harbaugh saw me, he couldn't wait to pull me to the front of the row of small carts where the items were displayed to me. This time he took off the covers on the carts. The things on these carts all look the same, they all look like almonds, but the colors are different. Habo picked up a reddish-brown "almond" and handed it to me.

"What's this?"

"Heart of Rock." Harbaugh answered me with a smile.

"What is it for? Could it be that if it is planted on the ground, stones will grow? Or will buildings, city walls, or something like that grow directly?"

"No, this is the same type of item as the plant-based core I showed you first. It is specially used for synthesis with living organisms."

"Oh? It sounds good." I looked at this thing carefully and asked, "What are its specific abilities?" After I asked, Harbaugh was about to answer, but I stopped him first. "Don't tell me yet, let me guess. The vegetative core you gave me before is to allow people to obtain some of the characteristics of plants. It can make people have the ability to regenerate broken limbs like plants. It can also increase health and wound recovery. Speed, so this heart of rock should allow people to obtain some of the 'properties' of stone. In my opinion, this thing can increase defense."

"Correct. But it's not all." Habo added: "The Heart of Rock can not only increase defense, it can also allow the user to gain stronger muscles and significantly increase strength. But there is a side effect. "

"What? Are there any side effects?"

"In comparison, the effect is only minimal, so don't worry too much. This side effect only reduces the speed, because the muscles are partially petrified, and although the defense and strength have increased, the speed has slowed down, but the decrease is not very obvious. And we don’t plan to let everyone use this heart of rock. This thing is prepared for heavy weapon users and shield wielders. We can also consider using some for muscular monsters, which can greatly enhance their outstanding abilities. , and thus improve their combat effectiveness.”

"It's a good idea."

Habo said proudly: "In addition, after using this synthesis, you can also get a special attribute."

"What attribute is 'property'?"

"The enemy's damage amplification and wound tearing properties are invalidated. Moreover, the enemy's knockback and stun attack property effects are halved."

"So awesome?"

"This is just an additional ability. Is it useful? I thought increasing strength and defense were more important!" Habo is not a combatant after all, and does not understand what is most important to a combatant. Strength and defense do work. But those are just basic attributes. In fact, not everyone thinks it is good. On the contrary, it is a negative attribute that resists this attribute and is more popular among people. Sometimes in the game there will be some attribute weapons with a bunch of attributes like My Eternity. Although the attack power of these weapons is not high, they have a lot of negative attributes. If they are touched, they will peel off your skin. As long as you have this negative attribute resistance, you no longer have to worry about weapons like the face team.

I didn't answer Harbaugh's question. He's not a fighter anyway, and he couldn't understand the explanation. It is more important to ask directly about practical matters. "The heart of rock you just saw is only good for heavy weapon users. What about other professions? Are the other things you show here prepared for other professions?"

"Of course." Habo immediately gave me another green crystal-like "almond". "This is the heart of life, which can increase the speed of blood recovery and magic power recovery. It is good for everyone. Also, this purple land is the heart of magic. After the merger, the magic attack power increases by 30%, and there are There is a 50% chance that magic will evolve and a more advanced version of magic will appear. However, this thing also has side effects. It will reduce the user's strength. Warrior professions must not use it. There is also this Wind Soul here. , can be used by archers to increase hit rate. It also has damage amplification and piercing effects, but it also has side effects.…"

Harbaugh introduced a lot of things, which are basically synthetic items specifically designed for use by certain types of people. They basically have side effects, but as long as they are used by specific groups of people, the occupational side effects can be ignored. For example, Warm Heart strengthens the magic recovery speed and spell casting speed but causes a decrease in physical defense. If you use it on a mage, you can ignore the side effects. Anyway, the mage usually relies on the magic shield to resist the close attacks of the warriors. After the shield is broken, whether the mage's physical defense is reduced or not, he will be killed with a knife. After the shield is broken by the warrior, it is basically the same as death. There is absolutely no need to worry about physical defense.

Because the functions of these things are too complex, and the applicable groups need to be screened one by one, I finally chose to go through the formal production of these items first, but asked the God of War to help me check the attributes of the personnel and arrange the corresponding combination methods in groups.

As a fully automatic war planning and command computer system, one of the original functions of Military God Land includes a battle division of labor program. This set of programs allows Military God to arrange weapons and equipment for each soldier based on his or her personal characteristics and place them in the most appropriate location. in the team. The things that Harbaugh and the others have come up with that can improve attributes are like weapons and equipment. They can only have the greatest effect if given to the right people. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness may be reduced. This is like leaving a six-barreled Gatling machine gun to a helpless ballistic missile engineer, but equipping a muscular special forces with a ballistic missile launch vehicle. Two weapons Both of them are very powerful, but when combined wrongly, they are nothing more than a pile of scrap metal. If the distribution is reversed, and the muscular special forces hold a six-barreled machine gun, he can completely mow down a company of enemies, while the engineer gets Launching a vehicle can kill large groups of enemy troops thousands of kilometers away. This is called reasonable matching.

After leaving all the distribution work to the God of War to calculate. I went back to the New World to listen to Harbaugh and the others introducing me to their other synthetic products. This time, all the things used to synthesize with the human body have been displayed. The rest are synthetic organisms. Harbaugh first showed me a mount. Since it hasn’t been named yet, we’re not sure what this thing is going to be called yet.

Habo excitedly introduced to me: "This is a creature we got after experimentally combining it based on our experience in making spears. Its biological part is modeled after Pegasus, while the non-biological part is mainly magic crystal and some metal components. ."

"Are you sure this thing is modeled after a Pegasus? Why do I think it doesn't look like a Pegasus except that it has four legs and a head like a Pegasus?"

"Eh... This is mainly because we also used dragon blood and nightmare blood."

"A giant dragon? This sounds pretty reliable."

The creature in front of me looks more like a dragon than a horse, but its body structure is neither like a dragon nor a giant dragon. The proportions of the various parts of this guy's body are close to those of a lion. Its head is larger and very close to the dragon's head, but not exactly the same. It does not have the symmetrical horns like the giant dragon, but its skull extends back to a large crest similar to the Triceratops of the Jurassic era. The edge of this crown is full of long bone spurs, which combined with the relatively short neck itself is enough to ensure that no animal can hurt it by attacking its neck. As for its body, although it looks very well-proportioned, the bulging muscles all show how powerful it is. And this guy is covered in scales. Even if you don't equip another cavalry armor, the defense won't be that low. The ratio of its limbs is closer to that of a feline than that of a Pegasus. Although it is still relatively long, it is very thick and strong at first glance. The tail part at the end is easier to recognize. It is completely a dragon's tail, with an arrow-shaped bone blade at the tip. It will definitely be very powerful if used to sweep people.

It's just such a thing that looks like a giant dragon without wings. Harbaugh actually said that it was based on Pegasus, which is really unbelievable.

Habo explained to me: "Although we used Tianma as the core to combine during synthesis, our formation can be automatically optimized, replacing relatively weak attributes with dominant attributes, so Although Pegasus is the core of the synthesis, the powerful attributes in the dragon's blood still transform the synthesized creature beyond recognition. I can only say that compared to Pegasus, the dragon is too powerful."

After hearing Habo say that the dragon's attributes are relatively strong, I suddenly thought of a question. "Harbo. This thing can't breathe fire, right?"

"Hey. How do you know? I haven't told you yet!"

"This guy has a dragon head without horns. Everyone can guess that it can breathe fire."

"Fire-breathing can spit fire, but after all, the synthetic core is not a giant dragon, and the dragon's blood is not enough to spit out dragon flames. This and the experimental subject can indeed breathe fire. But the power of the fire spewed out is far less than that of dragon flames So powerful, it only has the effect of high temperature and has no adhesion, burning or corrosive properties."

The reason why the dragon's dragon flames are powerful is not entirely due to the flame itself reaching the ground. The adhesion, burning and powerful corrosion it brings are the real terrifying thing about the dragon flames. Dragon Flame is like oil. If you spray it on something, it will stick to it and burn for a long time. Even if you can withstand high temperatures for a short time, you will not be able to withstand continuous burning. Moreover, dragon flame itself is very corrosive. Even if your equipment is fireproof, it can corrode a It comes with a big hole, and then relies on the characteristics of continuous adhesion and burning to continue to burn your body through this hole with high temperature. However, Harbaugh made it very clear that this thing's ground fire was the high temperature at that time, and it would not stick or corrode.

After what Habo said, he continued: "In fact, the flames emitted by this experimental body not only do not have the two top attributes of Dragon Flame, but the temperature is not as high as Dragon Flame, and the spray distance and coverage are also small. It’s a lot, but it can’t be sprayed continuously.”

"I understand, it's just a simplified version of the dragon."

"That's pretty much what it means."

I suddenly discovered that what was connected under this guy's legs were not hooves but big beast-like claws. "This guy has claws, can he use them?" This thing is modeled after Pegasus. Even if it has claws, who knows if Pegasus is used to using its claws to catch people.

Harbaugh said excitedly: "We have experimented with this. It may be that after the synthesis, Tianma's consciousness automatically has the ability to control the new body. It can not only use its claws to scratch. It can also bite with its teeth, and its personality The Changing Earth is much more ferocious than the Pegasus. It can be said that this is a completely independent new life form. It does not have the docile personality of the Pegasus."

"That's good. Even if you transform the body of a sheep into a Tyrannosaurus rex, if it still retains the mind of a sheep, it will still be chased everywhere by wolves."

"That won't happen. Our experimental subject is extremely vicious. You see, we locked its limbs to the ground with steel locks. It was because this guy had a bad temper that he got angry and even tore down the fence."

"It's good to be fierce. Only with fierceness can you have combat effectiveness. Oh, by the way, what is this guy's attack and defense power? Does he have any special skills?"

"The attack power is pretty good, because we used some metals when synthesizing it, so its teeth, claws, and the bone blades on its tail are actually made of alloy, and you can imagine how sharp it is. In terms of attack power alone, it In fact, it's not much inferior to level 100 creatures."

"That's enough. The combat power of a mount is equivalent to that of a **100th-level creature. That means the number of combatants in our guild has been successfully doubled. It's definitely a good thing."

Habo continued: "In terms of defense, this is pretty good. After all, it has a layer of scales on its body. Besides, it has also inherited the energy shield of Pegasus. Its defense will not suffer even if it is defended against the main battle creature. But it Its vitality is relatively low, so although its attack and defense are not weaker than those of level 900 creatures, it may not even be able to defeat level 800 creatures in a real fight."

"It doesn't matter. This thing itself is used as a mount, and I don't intend to let people in our guild use it as a human shield. So, other than these, how about combat skills?"

"In terms of combat skills, in addition to claws, mouth bites and tail sweeps, it also has the ability to breathe fire as mentioned before. In addition, when it is in a strong emotional state such as anger, excitement or excitement, its four legs, apex, nostrils and eyes will ignite hell. fire."

"Hellfire? How can the hellfire land appear when Pegasus and dragon blood are added?"

"Because we also added the blood of nightmares."

"Are these fires offensive?"

"Yes, but it usually doesn't perform very well. It doesn't do much damage just by contact. But once the hellfire burns, every attack it makes will automatically add fire and dark damage, which is quite powerful. "

"Are there any other skills?"

"Yes. This guy can fly."

"This is to be expected. Dragons, nightmares, and Pegasus can all fly. Although this guy has no wings, since it is based on Pegasus, it is normal for him to be able to fly."

Habo suddenly said to me mysteriously: "There is another thing among the synthetic materials, which is the magic crystal synthesizer, so..."

"So what?" Actually, I had roughly guessed what Harbaugh was going to say.

"So this experimental subject can synthesize low-level magic crystals."

"Synthesize low-grade magic crystal? Can't it be used?"

"Of course it can be used, but it can only be used as a bomb because it is a low-level magic crystal. Therefore, it cannot provide energy for mechanical consumption."

In the world of "Zero", magic crystal is the source of all power. In real industry, there are coal and oil to choose from, and electricity can also be produced by means of nuclear energy and wind energy. However, even in this environment, countries around the world are still trying to Oil and coal have fought numerous battles, big and small. Although coal and oil exist in the game, they can burn and generate heat just like in reality. However, since advanced internal combustion engines cannot be manufactured here, the power generated by burning these minerals is much lower than that of the magic crystal power system. Therefore, these traditional energy sources can only be used as auxiliaries. The magic crystal system is the king of power in the game.

Since magic crystal is so important. The various guilds naturally regard it as a strategic reserve and compete with each other. However, not all magic crystals are the same. The substance collectively referred to as magic crystal is actually a general term for a series of ores. Their properties are different. Even the energy values ​​of white magic crystal produced from the same mine are very different. For general equipment, the purity of magic crystal is not too important, but for some large equipment, it cannot operate without high-purity magic crystal. For this reason, our guild had to send a large number of personnel to manually sort the magic crystals. Only the magic crystals that meet the requirements can be used as energy blocks. And more low-level magic crystals can only be sent to make magic crystal powder and magic crystal bombs.

As we all know, magic crystal is a kind of energy-rich and extremely unstable mineral energy, and because the technology of extracting magic crystal energy and utilizing it is still an advanced technology mastered by a few guilds, most guilds can only think of it. The most direct way to utilize it is to detonate the energy and directly transform the magic crystal into a bomb through explosive radiation.

"Harbo, you said this thing can make bomb-level low-level magic crystals. How is it made? Shouldn't it be from...?" What I actually wanted to say was pull it out of the butt, but this word is really not very elegant. . So I didn’t ask. Harbaugh should know what I mean anyway.

Harbaugh immediately laughed when he heard what I said. "Not from the back, but from the front. It will devour enemy corpses in battle. The same goes for the food it eats. After digestion, the excess energy is stored and condensed in a special organ in the body to form magic crystal, which can be passed through the esophagus when needed. Spit it out."

"Being able to spit out bombs is a pretty good ability. It can at least be used as a minelayer."

"Actually, what the experimental subjects spit out is not exactly bombs!" Habo explained while thinking: "Although most of the experimental subjects still spit out low-grade white magic crystals that can only be used as bombs, sometimes individual experimental subjects also spit out low-grade white magic crystals that can only be used as bombs. It can produce high-level magic crystals. If all our guilds are equipped with this kind of experimental body, a large number of standard magic crystals that can be used in the energy system and a small amount of red-striped magic crystals will be produced every day, and even one will appear every few days. Colorful magic crystals are not impossible."

"Are you saying that as long as the number increases, the probability of producing high-grade magic crystals will increase?"

"It's not that the probability has increased, but that the overall possibility has increased. After all, the probability of each experimental subject producing high-level magic crystals is the same. The larger the base number, the higher the probability of occurrence. This should be easy to understand."

"According to what you said, the combat effectiveness of this thing is indeed pretty good. As a mount, it is already very advanced. It's just a problem of production. Is there any way you can solve it? The synthesizer in the laboratory cost a lot of money. I need to rebuild it. I will go bankrupt at Channel 178, so don’t expect to get any more money from me!”

"No, no, no. We only need to synthesize one or two hundred heads first, and then we can produce them through interspecific breeding. We don't have to synthesize them all. Besides, there is a certain possibility of mutation in naturally reproduced individuals. If It would be even better if an enhanced individual appears like your flying bird."

"At your speed, how long will it take to synthesize these two individuals and reproduce them to the number our guild needs?"

"We have synthesized more than a hundred individuals for testing. If you invest in building a life essence production line for us, as long as there is enough life essence to promote it, we can produce enough for the guild in ten days at most. Come."

"So fast?"

"You underestimate the speed of life essence generation. This is the calculated result after removing unqualified individuals. If we only calculate based on the birth rate, it will only take eight days at most."

"No problem. I'll ask Rose to allocate funds for you to build two large-scale life essence production lines. Anyway, they can be used in other places. If you produce more, you can also sell them for takeout."

"That would be great." Habo said excitedly: "I will take you to see other synthetic creatures."

"Do you have other synthetic creatures?"

"Of course." Habo replied firmly: "With only such a small amount, how can I dare to trouble you to go there in person? Besides, although the experimental body just now looks good, when it comes to the technical level, it can only be regarded as a verification. Model, it has little practical value. What we are going to look at next is the one that truly reflects the existence of our technology.”

"What the hell is that?" I asked as I followed Harbaugh forward.

"It's an assault-type synthetic creature used in guild battles. We temporarily call it a multi-legged turret. Oh, here it is, right in this courtyard. Because it is very important, we used an illusion wall to block it behind .”

We walked through a gate into the back room. There is a giant creature standing on the ground here, its size can no longer be described as just big. The giant dragon is like a sparrow next to it, the mammoth war elephant is like a guinea pig compared to it, and even the giant Modo beast is almost like a kitten standing next to it.

"This, this, this... what on earth is this?"

What Harbaugh showed me was basically a scorpion. But this guy's height is definitely more than 350 meters, and the length should be no less than 900 meters. Six powerful claws support the ground, and the sharp feet are four to five meters deep into the ground. Squeezing a dragon or two with its giant pincers is as easy as squeezing a gecko. Not counting the above, the really fatal thing should actually be the scorpion tail standing high up. If it were just an ordinary scorpion, no matter how big it was, the scorpion tail would only be slightly more lethal. There is nothing to be afraid of. But the problem is that this is not an ordinary scorpion, but a cyborg scorpion.

There is no poisonous needle on the tip of this scorpion's tail at all, instead it is a composite multi-barreled weapon. Harbaugh doesn't need an introduction, I'm very familiar with the integration stuff there. The long firing port in the middle of the thing should be the magic light cannon, and the six ones surrounding the magic light cannon with larger diameters but shorter extension tubes should be magic crystal cannons. Six magic crystal cannon barrels are surrounded by a magic light cannon barrel in the form of a minigun. Just one salvo of such a terrifying composite weapon is enough to make a big hole in any city wall except Essinger.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the scorpion only had this integrated weapon on its tail. The key is that this guy also has a magic light cannon barrel hidden in each of his two big pincers. And its back was actually densely packed with magic crystal cannons. There are some small magic light cannon firing ports scattered around the body and on the legs. This guy is simply a mobile artillery position. The best way for any city to deal with it is to surrender directly.

"How long does it take you to make one of these?" This time it was me who asked Habo excitedly.

"This is the only one." Harbaugh's words poured cold water on my overly excited head. Before I could ask Harbaugh had already started explaining in advance. "Although the cannons that are consumed in synthesis are expensive, they can be manufactured in large quantities after all. It just costs more. But the problem is this creature. I know it looks like a scorpion, but I have to tell you that it is not actually a scorpion." Not a scorpion, but a modified spider.”

"spider?"

"Yes. This is a giant spider based on the Lord of the Crypt. Its two pincers were originally supposed to be the front two of its eight legs, and the extra tail on the back is a purely mechanical structure. We synthesized it."

"No wonder they are all weapons, so why does this spider limit my mass production?"

"Because this is a synthetic spider, and it is also the only one that has grown so big. You know, our synthetic device is less than half the size of this guy. It was not that big when it was first synthesized. This is the result of its own growth."

"Does that mean this thing cannot be copied?"

"We have also experimented. If we can really replicate it, we will not stop doing it!"

I nodded. "Originally, this thing is much more powerful than the previous mount, but because you can't mass-produce it, the strategic value is far less than the mount!"

"We also know this, so we have prepared other things."

"besides?"
